No power outage here

It would appear that a power outage prevented the Canadiens from skating at practice today. Or did it?
(The conspiracy theorist in me tends to come out when I'm annoyed, and I could have made plans yesterday but I decided to put hockey in those plans. And then it was 4-0.)

- Maybe an Arrested Development fan turned off the lights just to quote "Young or old, it doesn't matter... in the dark." (Any teammates that have never watched AD were probably a little freaked out.)

- Maybe they were practicing for some kind of team-building Halloween haunted house activity. (I hope it involves the Thriller dance!)

- Maybe they were trying some type of séance or something, since they got beat by the Devils.

- Maybe they wanted to see if they'd still be world-class athletes in the dark, but then chickened out.

- Maybe it was movie time.

- Maybe they turned off the lights and shouted insults at each other, in a bid to have thicker skin should some kind of Rick Rypien situation occur. (Being in the dark makes it harder to grab the guy who yelled at you.)

- Maybe it was the ultimate test for Mike Cammalleri to prove, once and for all, whether or not he is a Jedi.

I guess we'll find out tomorrow. Hopefully our team won't, ahem, leave us in the dark.

by the way...

that's what she said

Rookieisno longer ~czechtacular's protegee, no matter what she tells you, she's the one running the show around here, having been raised from the ranks of "Souray, he's the one that has a really mean slapshot, right?" to Outstanding TV-Hockey Analogist in a mere two years, and hasn't stopped since. According to Rookie, clubs do not sign players, they buy them - which may as well be how the rest of the world looks at these things. She tries to show love to all her Habs, since there will always be rival teams to hate on them. This means that yes, she is in the minority of people who has never given up on Carey Price, because you don't give up on a Montreal Canadien. (She almost came close this one time, but she has never given up. It's a Rick Astley kind of love.) Her seemingly endless pop culture references come from a love for television that has even deeper roots than her love of hockey.

~czechtacular is the one who pushed Rookie to get this blog, and a Twitter, and thus a great service to the Habs' online world was complete. She herself does post sometimes but very rarely, often gargling up random information stemming from minor pro to major junior hockey. Pro-underdog trendsetter and founder of the now 1500+ liked Guy Boucher Facebook page that mere months ago didn't even show up in search results, you'll usually find her going off the page in rants about people you've barely heard of. And loving it.
